"Woke up to the sound of pouring rain.."

It is horrendous outside. Pouring rain, thunder and lightning. Always fun.
I don't know why I'm writing on here. I think it was more that I just wanted to quote that song as a title of a post and it seemed apropos here.

Additionally, after my little rant last night I kept writing.
3 lyrics done, completely so. And a few others started.
If only I could figure out the accompaniment and not make it suck.
And also if I could finally finish the Post Secret Project that would be nice...
Or something like that.

Some of you might not know but somewhere in last February or March I started a project based on the ideas of Post Secret (click My Addictions link). I know its not really a new innovative theater concept or anything but I wrote a collection of monologues about people's struggles with their secrets, both the inner turmoil and the way they were outwardly effected. It was about the nature of secrets and what they can do to a person, whether it be a positive or a negative. And since I started it I've continued to work on them little by little. The first week I was working I wrote 6 monologues, all of which I still like (which is rare- I normally hate anything I write within hours of finishing). But then I got busy with school and with shows and with life. The project fell to the wayside. But recently I picked it up again. On the train to New York last weekend I had my laptop with me and so I started to write again. I wasn't quite sure where I was going with it but I knew I wanted to carry on with the project and so I did. And now I have an even larger collection of monologues. And I don't know where to stop, or how to end. I want everyone's secrets to tie together somehow and to have the different actors coming together and for there to be a crossover of sort. I can see it in my head and hear it, I just can't execute it or talk about it apparently. So, I'm trying to figure out that one now too.

I just don't know when to stop with that one.
How many pieces would make it complete?

I'm getting overly anxious.
I don't know what about- but I am.

And also, anybody wanna loan my $20?
I wanna go to the rock and roll jamboree on the 19th since I don't start classes til the 22nd.
